Chefi's program helped me feel less afraid and more connected to my body. She accomplished this through helping me to normalize and depersonalize the experience of trauma. Her compassionate presence and willingness to be vulnerable in sharing her own story created a supportive container for facing my pain. Setting aside a limited, yet specific block of time and Chefi's acknowledgement that releasing trauma can be a difficult and takes time made it more accessible. Setting an intention and focusing on being safe in the present moment grounded me. Staying connected to the beat and using the forceful dance movements and accompanying sounds kept me embodied as the traumatic energy was releasing. Letting go and allowing the fluid rhythms to guide me made it a unified body-mind-spirit experience that resulted in feeling lighter and freer.

Coach Chef's vibrant energy lights up the room as she teaches and empowers you through Afro dance. Her class allows for your body to feel the rhythm which gives your soul the chance to expressively release through movement. This dance experience was a perfect example of tapping into your inner power. I recommend her class!

I had the great privilege of moderating a panel that Chefi was on at the South Shore Conference for Women, and as our conversation with the audience evolved, she led us through some dancing practices that filled me with joy, happiness, and 1 really felt like I was accessing a part of me I hadn't since I was a child. All around me as we danced in unison, like we had rehearsed it, but were all learning the moves for the first time - I saw that same child like happiness in the eyes of others. Some people cried, 1 certainly did - and that was the result of just 5 minutes, FIVE of dance. The kind of healing that can be facilitated through consistent practice is mind boggling and fills me with hope.

Great teacher!! She explains the dances very thoroughly and teaches you where each dance originated from. Her classes will challenge you and you will have a lot of fun. There is a strong sense of community and Chefi's positive attitude helps to make the class feel welcoming. I can't wait to take more classes with her!
